London Camden Town, King’S Cross, And Islington

North London offers a bevy of shopping options, from the upmarket boutiques in Islington to the outrageous alternative shops on Camden High Street. The Camden Markets are some of London’s best; they sell everything from mouth-watering ethnic foods to handmade jewelry to fur and leather jackets. Serious music shoppers will revel in the vinyl shops on Inverness Street, while those looking for vintage should check out Camden Passage, near the Angel Tube. The stores on Upper Street range from popular chains to pricey specialty shops.
